Cheap Rend Blackhand Priest Deck (Heroic Mode)

Table of Contents

This deck can be used to defeat Rend Blackhand on Heroic Mode. The goal of
the deck is to create an immense wall by buffing a Taunt minion to the point
that he can no longer punch through. To facilitate this, the deck plays numerous
AoE and stalling mechanisms to allow you enough time to gather all the
resources needed.

3. Strategy

The key to this deck is creating an extremely large taunt minion using
Deathlord or Mogu'shan Warden in combination with
Divine Spirit and Inner Fire. Since Rend Blackhand
does not have particularly good removal aside from
The True Warchief, which can only target Legendary minions, he will
be forced to keep running his entire board into your Taunt minion each
turn, while you are able to quickly hit him directly a few times for an
easy win.

Mulligan extremely hard for Zombie Chow. Playing a 1 Mana minion seems
to drastically reduce the frequency that Rend uses The Coin to activate
his Hero Power on Turn 1. If you are able to get a Chow down early, this
will often buy you enough time to stall until turns 5+, when your powerful
Priest board clears come into play.

Although getting the Deathlord into play early and quickly buffing it is
obviously ideal, this deck does not require a dream hand to achieve victory.
If you do not get the Deathlord early enough, you have plenty of stalling power
with your removal cards, as well as card draw with Northshire Cleric to
be able to stall the game until you draw the required pieces.
